{"product_id":"essays-on-freedom-and-proportionality-dimitrios-kyritsis-9781509973804","title":"Essays on Freedom and Proportionality","description":"\u003cb\u003eThis open access book explores the connection between proportionality and the moral concept of freedom from a variety of philosophical perspectives.\u003c\/b\u003eIt views proportionality as more than a technical, legalistic formula but as infused with moral meaning. It asks: Is the proportionality test committed to a particular philosophical conception of freedom? \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSome contributors argue that proportionality subscribes to a morally defensible 'right to everything'. Others see in this a serious shortcoming of contemporary proportionality discourse. They claim instead that fundamental rights doctrine should abandon proportionality and adopt a less individualistic notion of freedom that is inherently limited by the reasonable interests of others. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe volume showcases novel attempts to combine proportionality and freedom that are inspired by Kant, John Rawls and Bernard Williams. It also situates its central question within debates about the legitimacy of judicial power and considers the use of proportionality analysis by the courts to resolve pivotal issues about the meaning of human rights. Individual chapters are in dialogue with each other, offering readers a holistic examination of this important issue of human rights theory and practice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dimitrios Kyritsis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 150997380X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781509973804\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hart Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/12\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.14lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.56d","brand":"Dimitrios Kyritsis","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47244152406271,"sku":"9781509973804","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f23aa196-9c12-4cd6-aabf-59ec6ffd1389.jpg?v=1758135058","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/essays-on-freedom-and-proportionality-dimitrios-kyritsis-9781509973804","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
